Vastu Purusha was defeated by 45 deities mounted in different positions on Vastu Purusha.
The legend of the Vastu Purusha is related thus. Once a formless being blocked the heaven from the earth and Brahma ji with many other gods trapped him to the ground.
This incident is depicted graphically in the Vastu Purusha Mandala with portions allocated hierarchically to each deity based on their contributions and positions.
Brahma occupied the central portion - the Brahmasthana & other gods were distributed around in a concentric pattern
The outer sector of the Vastu Purusha Mandala has 32 gods, while the inner side has 13 Gods
